The Window Scene From "Romeo and
Juliet" Reproduced East OF Canton.
A ladder and window elopement case
was nipped in the bud by an irate
father. Reuben Harper, a well fixed
farmer, a few miles east of the city
limits, heard a noise about the
house at B o'clock in the morning. Sus-
pecting burglars he arose and crept
cautiously about the house just in time
to see his handsome and romantically
inclined daughter, Maria. aged 16, de-
scending a ladder from her chamber
window; while Theodore Myers, aged
%, her devoted admirer, stood below
holding bundle of Maria's clOt es
which she had tossed to him, and wait
ing patiently for his love to come and
fly with him. When her father an
peared upon the scene the lover
promptly knocked him down, but not
in time to escape with his Maria, who
was collared by her enraged mothtr
who had heard the racket, and who
promptly marched the truant girl in
the house. Harper had Myers arrested
for assault and battery, but afterwards
withdrew the charge. Myers is a re
spectacle young mechanic who formerly
lived with the Harper family.

rs HE DOOMEDP
The German Crown Prince Repcrted
Worse Again.


Worse Again.
BERLIN, Nov. Though the En-
peror is reported as better, and although
he has been able to show himself once to
the public at his window, he is still very
sick. His recent attack was another
nephritic collie. This he has only recov.
cred from with difficulty. He has suf-
fered much more than usual. He CON
tinually complains and has become very
weak. lie also exhibits a certain ap-
prehension never shown before. His
strength has disappeared during the
last eight days in a most frightful
fashion. He asks continually for the
Crown Prince and has asked that he re-
turn at once to Berlin.
An officer of his staff has been sent
to the Crown Prince at San Reno. The
latter was disposed in spite of his state
of health to consent to go to Berlin, but
the Crown Princess has opposed her
husbands going believing that such a
journey will prove fatal. The Prince,
however, has only thus far made one
concession, and that is that DR.. Macken-
zie shall be telegraphed for to come and
give his opinion before starting whether
the journey can be safely made or not.
1t is believed by those near the Crown
Prince that he will go to his father in
response to his orders no matter what
may be the result. There is great un-
easiness in Berlin. The Emperor is
now, everyone believes, near his death,
and the sad state of the Crown Prince
adds greatly to the uneasiness of the
situation.
The question of the succession to the
throne presents no difficulties, neither
are there any for the succession to the
imperial crown, which will pass for the
first time to another. The States which
form the Empire have all been consult
ed in advance. All have now prepared
and have had prepared for the past
eighteen months, acts giving full allie
glance to the new sovereign. Every
thing relating to the ceremonial is al
ready settled. From the political stand
point nothing will be changed. Prince
Bismarck will not, however, go through
the form of resigning. If the new EN-
peror is obliged to remain in Italy the
Chancellor will undoubtedly have his
present extended powers increased.
In case the Emperor is not well
enough to meet the Car when he
passes through Germany, Prince Will
liam will meet the Car at the German
frontier and accompany him while
crossing the German territory.
LONDON, Nov. 10.-Dr. Mackenzie

regarding the condition of the German
Crown Prince: "There has been re-

Mason & Hamlin Pianos.

Mason & Hamlin bid fair to become
as famous for their pianos as they have
long been for their wOrld-renowned or
gans. The distinguishing feature about
the Mason Il Hamlin Piano is an i'm
portant improvement in the method Of
holding the strings. They are secured
by metallic fastenings instead of by the
friction of pins setin wood, as has been
the case, and the advantages resulting
are highly important. Wonderful
beauty and musical quality of tone;
far less liability of getting out of tune;
greater reliability in trying climates;
and greater solidity of construction and
durability are secured.

~@NAs-~AsSoN
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-For no other
reason than political disagreement in
tensiiied by drink, Frederick Michel, q
carpenter, was brutally kicked to death
mt No. Sl5 Washington street early this
morning. Herman ROeder keeps a sa-
loon at that address, and his principal
customers are farmers who come TO

saloon is door opening into Gustaye
Michel's barber shop. Gustave is a
younger brother Of the dead man, and
lives with his family at No. 66 Canes
WORT street, few doors east of the

shook hands and stepped up to the bar
for another round of whisky. Sulli-
van Jagged behind the others, and, with.
ont any warning, flung one arm around
Fred MichePs neck and the Other
around his waist, lifted him off his feet
and dashed him to the floor, where be
began kicking him mercilessly. Gus
taVe tried to Interfere, but three of
Sulliyan's friends held him back.
Fred's farce was soon covered with
blood, and his loud shrieks subsidized in
to means Of agony.
When Sullivan had sated his insanc
fury he went out, followed by his
friends. The injured man was then
carried into the barber shop by his
brother and Tiederman and placed in
one of the chairs. An ambulance was
summoned from st. Vincent's Hospital,
where he died in the afternoon. The
police of the Charles street station
knew nothing of the murder until Gus
tave Michel reported it to them after
his brothers death.

carpenter by trade. He leaves his wife
and four children at No. 405 West

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-For the first time
in 80 years Chicago has military camp.
Two companies of the Sixth United
States Infantry, under command of
Major Lyster, have arrived at High
wood, having travelled 1885 miles with
in the last six days. The troops were
marched to the government tract, and
in less than an honr the United States

grizzled veterans and have been en-

morning by Constable Weber, for COM.
mitting an assault and battery ON Mr..
Edward r. Sterl. They were arraigned
before Justibe Braden at ten o'clock

noon, and he gave 800 bail to appear

badly used up by the boys that his re-
cOyery is regarded as doubtful.

Brief Budget of the News of the Day
in Western Stark.
The election passed off very quietly
in Massillon yesterday, large vote be-
ing polled. Although there was not
very hard work done openly, every eff
fort was made by the Republicans to
elect Crawford sheriff, which accounts
for the large majority received by him
in MassillOn and Perry township. The
Prohibitionists polled twenty-nine
votes, and the Union Labor party polled
six votes in the city and township.
When the news began to be received
the Republicans felt jubilant, especially
on the county, but no one could be
found that claimed the county, while
the Democrats were confident they had
carried the entire county. Following
is the vote by wards and precincts.

THE RESULT IN CANTON.
MAJoRITIEs IN CANTON CITY AND
TOWNSHIP

The Democratic State ticket had a
Democratic gain on Hoadly's vote two
years ago, and "Old Stark" is still in
the Democratic column. The result OF
yesterdays elections in this county
show that while the Democrats are lib
Sral enough to vote for men on the
Republican county ticket, the Republi-
cans vote the straight ticket. This
county has given Democratic
majorities for the last six years,
ranging fran 222 to III and yet at ev-
cry election the Republicans would
elect part Of their county ticket. 1t
will thus be seen that the Democrats
do the most cutting on the County
ticket, while the Republicans vote
straight,

The county ticket was cut right and
left and the desperate attempt of the
Republicans to trade everything for
certain offices produced great havoc
among the Democrats. Had it not been
for the magnificent Democratic gain in
this city the whole county ticket
would have been completely showed
under. We have lost the Board of Com.
